Help! I'm new!
Hi everyone, I just joined this site a couple days ago. I understand relatively how to play Diplomacy, but I've only played in real life before. Typically, I've never been able to round up many friends to play the game because it takes so long, but I've played some games. Can anyone direct me to any resources so I can learn to play better? Sorry if there was a post like this, but I couldn't find it.

MLB Playoffs
Well fellas, we're down to the last day. The Mariners' drought continues, the Cards continue to somehow stay in it, the Jays thank the Lord finally get a win to push them to the #1 spot. The Nats also clinched home field advantage over the Dodgers.

Any WS predictions? Is it really the Cubs' year? Can the Dodgers finally make it? Who's going to surprise? My money is on the Jays duelling it out with the Giants, but of course I have a strong bias. What do you all think?

I teared up a little when I realized that Italy was going to give his partner, Austria, a piece of the pie instead of soloing. There are happy endings in Diplomacy after all!

webDiplomacy continues to lose players
The number of players listed each month in the Ghostratings continues to decline. Every year, there is a peak around May/June. We peaked in 2011 with 3,571 players, and steadily lost players from then to now (if you don't count the 2013-2014 inflated numbers anomaly). This last May peak we hit 2,503. At this rate, I figure there will be seven of us left in 2029.

Frostweaver's Personal Comments on Live Gunboat-483
Just a note: I'm not playing in the game, just spectating and inputting my personal comments on the game's moves.

Classic opening moves were made by all countries - except for Turkey. Seems Turkey is susceptible to Russian retaliation from the Black Sea. Also quite interesting how Britain and France strayed away from the English Channel.

@Nd

It's actually a very interesting scenario: Clinton is attacking Comey.

I think they found something, and he CANNOT divert it. Clinton had a speech where she low-key accused him of doing this to sway voters
(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA damnit Clinton)

and some other Democrats have openly gone after him. We'll see, but this organized hit against him is if anything a good sign for Trump.

It's a really bad campaign strategy. Ignoring it would be a terrible idea, attacking Comey is also a terrible idea.

ND (879 D)

I also saw that some Democrats have been going after Comey. It's obviously not a good sign to see a political party attack a non-biased, impartial, lawman. When you start to do that then you know you are losing. Especially, since this guy was in Clinton's corner. This means whatever they found has to be damning or they know something is going to hit which will be damning. James is absolutely right.

If new polls in the next few days retain at least a little bit of a Clinton lead, this is over. Johnson's numbers are already dropping. If Clinton's Utah supporters back McMullin, he'd cut into Trump's electoral votes probably.
ND (879 D)
30 Oct 16 UTC
Yeah Clinton is up by 4.6 and 3.8 but she was up by at least 5 in both the 2 way and 4 way just a few days ago. There was a tightening prior to the FBI announcement. The announcement could totally erase it.

ND (879 D)
30 Oct 16 UTC
If Clinton doesn't get to 270 a Utah loss will simply mean that the election goes to the House of Representatives. If she gets over 270 and he loses Utah then it's over anyway. If it's a wave election, which I think it will be, then he won't lose Utah.
TrPrado (461 D)
30 Oct 16 UTC
(+1)
I doubt it'd be a wave. It may flip a state or two, but Trump won't have a landslide by any means. Also wonder what'll happen in the Senate. RCP's no tossup map shows a tie, and 538 has predicted a Dem majority there.
ND (879 D)

I think the Republicans are going to lose Illinois (Kirk) for sure. The rest really depends on if Trump wins or loses.

The Republicans obviously retain the House though.
ND (879 D)
30 Oct 16 UTC
It's hard for me to imagine the Republicans losing the house unless this election is just a monumental disaster for Trump. If Trump gets blown to smithereens and loses by 10-20% nationally then maybe the Democrats take the House.

Let me translate that for you ora:

"Wrong!"

- i believe i can translate - I can't even fathom a world where people say America has been a bully and war monger, amongst the worst the world has ever seen. Because i like those thigs about us.

@ND - but the point is, you can't begin a conversation about Trump without first agreeing on what the terms mean. What is the 'great' and when was it? I will assuredly rip apart either it's supposed greatness, or Trumps claim that you can return to it.

Almost as ludicrous as Obama's Hope and Change campaign - at least in retrospect.
But far more obvious that Trump hasn't a clue how to deliver on his rethoric - widely non-specific as it is.
JamesYanik (548 D)
30 Oct 16 UTC
@orathaic

Trump almost always follows that up by saying "America doesn't win anymore"

clearly he doesn't watch the olympics. or wars.

but he also leads into the economy, and perhaps he means the post-world war II growth, which is ironic, b/c there was a shit-ton of inflation. but yeah, America has been stronger economically (except the national debt which is HUUUUUUUGGGGEEE like Trump's fingers *and his penis but don't say THAT on national television*)

It's pretty obvious to anybody that's trying to pay attention with a critical mind that the "Russia is influencing our elections" idea is peddled by desperate Clintonistas whose birthright presidency is slipping from their grasp. Fitting that a campaign that's behind the times would fall back on propaganda tactics from 60 years ago...

Facebook Diplomacy
I've discovered a bot that allows you to play chess on a Facebook Chat page using algebraic notation. Could someone conceivably create a Diplomacy adjudicator for a Facebook chat page? It might make Diplomacy more accessible as you can easily play with your friends without worrying for phase length, pauses etc. Would this be in any way possible? It's just a thought.
